Biking Along The Lake

everyday life 1 Minute

This morning, I finally bike not “to” the Lakefront Trail, but actually “on” it! It’s so beautiful! So many things to explore!

This is not on the Lakefront Trail, but very close to my house. I still have to internalize the idea that I can take a 30-minute breal at the beach 🙂

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.

  2. Great photos, Hettie. It brings back memories of when I would bicycle to work on the lake front trail. It would be a real pleasure in the morning. In the evening, however, it was mildly stressful. The evening commute combined folks like me, who were escaping home, with others who were just out for a pleasant walk / run / bicycle / rollerblade along the lake: a very different level of attention to traffic and urgency. Eventually a change in jobs made it less practical and, in any case, going south along the lake meant encountering far too much traffic. It was about as pleasant as an idle drive down the Dan Ryan. In any case, I no longer ride so the photos were a nice reminder.

      1. The very short answer: opportunity costs. Slightly longer: both my bicycle and I would require some rehab first, the bike more than myself, perhaps, but we wouldn’t be going very far at first in any case. These days I’m a bit more interested in whether I can turn my bike into groceries… One less item to deal with when I finally move.

  3. Хетти, добрый день.
    Вы так любите Чикаго. Нет ли у вас списка любимых мест города, которые стоит посетить?
    Я планирую маршрут поездки, не могли бы вы порекомендовать, пожалуйста, куда сходить в Чикаго? 
    Спасибо.

    1. Прошу прощения, комменты на любом языке, кроме английского, настойчиво идут в спам, пока я их не одобрю! (это не я так установила). Мест я могу порекомендовать много, и маршрутов много. напишите поподробнее, когда- на сколько дней, и какие основные интересы!
